For years I have toyed with the idea of setting up a media server for my entertainment center. The challenges in my way included cost, features, aesthetics, background noise and user-friendliness. All of those things are important because I'm not the only person who will be using the system I build. Hardware and software technologies are coming together to address all these challenges. With the advent of the Intel Atom processor and the NVIDIA ION GPU, affordable hardware now is available that allows for an HDTV media server. Likewise, software, such as XBMC and Boxee, has matured and provides a fun and friendly user experience for all levels of users.
For $249.99, the HD-ID11 is small, quiet and looks slick. The chassis is all plastic and feels a bit flimsy when deconstructed. However, the plastic is fairly thick and has tight tolerances. When the cover is in place and set screws tightened, it feels solid.
The front of the HD-ID11 has a 3.5mm headphone jack, a 3.5mm microphone jack, a USB port, an SD card reader, a power button and activity LEDs. The top of the case has a large blue O that lights up while the machine is on. It looks nice, but it can be turned off in the BIOS if it is bothersome. On the side, there is a USB port with a rubber stopper, and on the back, there are four more USB ports. The back also sports HDMI and DVI outputs, 10/100/1000 Ethernet, eSATA, optical out and a port for the power brick.
What makes the ZOTAC ZBOX HD-ID11 special is all the power that's packed into the small package. The machine is only 7.4" x 7.4" x 1.73" (188mm x 188mm x 44mm). Here are some of the main technical specs:
CPU: Intel ATOM D510 (dual-core, 1.66GHz), 667MHz front-side bus.
Chipset: Intel NM10 Express chipset.
GPU: NVIDIA ION GPU (with 512MB DDR3 memory).
Networking: Gigabit (10/1000/10000 Mbps), 802.11b/g/n.
Audio: onboard 8-channel digital audio, stereo analog audio.
I/O: HDMI, DVI (DVI-to-VGA dongle included), S/PDIF, mic/headphone, 6 x USB 2.0, RJ45, eSata.
Memory slot: 1 x 200-pin DDR2-800 SO-DIMM slot.
Hard drive slot: 1 x 2.5" hard drive (SATA 3.0Gb/s).
One thing separating the ZBOX from the competition is that it does not ship with memory or a hard drive. This allows you to tailor the computer to your needs without buying too much hardware or paying an inflated price for those components.
The HD-ID11 has support for up to 4GB of memory by using a single 200-pin DDR2-800 memory module. I installed 2GB of Kingston DDR2 RAM, which performed flawlessly. If you plan on using the ZBOX for playback only, 1GB of RAM should be sufficient. With the extra RAM available, I decided to use a 640GB hard drive and went with local management for the media. The Intel Atom processor is powerful enough to do a good job with video playback (via the NVIDIA ION GPU) and manage the library at the same time.
The ZBOX uses a standard American Megatrends BIOS that can be entered by pressing the Delete key during the boot phase. The settings I felt worth changing included the boot priority, turning off the ZBOX logo at boot time and having the ZBOX restart after a power failure. The other BIOS settings had sane defaults.
The first thing I noticed when I booted the ZBOX with Ubuntu was it did not take long before the CPU fan would spin up to maximum and start to sound like a jet engine. This was worrisome, as I intended to keep the ZBOX in my living room. Fortunately, there is a BIOS update available to fix this problem. As with most BIOS updaters, the updater used by the ZBOX requires a DOS boot disk to run. See wiki.fdos.org/Installation/BootDiskCreateUSB for some easy-to-follow instructions for creating a free DOS USB boot drive. Once the free DOS image is booted, you can switch to the drive with your BIOS flasher and follow the updater instructions.
Just bought one today!
Thanks for the great article, totally convinced me to go for the Zotac!
I have just bought: ZOTAC ZBOX HD-ID11 + Kingston Value RAM 800Mhz DDR2 CL6 SO DIMM + Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500GB Sata 8MB Cache 2.5 Inch from Amazon.co.uk for £230.00. I spent some time looking around for other options for HDD and RAM but to be honest from the reviews and overall pricing the current "customers also purchased" options were best value. Also beat ebay.co.uk, ebuyer.co.uk, and play.com prices.
It will be my first "desktop" machine in about 8 years, to exist alongside my trusty IBM Thinkpad x31. Running Debian + Stumpwm + Emacs + Conkeror use such low overhead, so looking forward to seeing how it all performs as my web-development and writing platform.
fdos link is not working
wiki.fdos.org/Installation/BootDiskCreateUSB link is broken
This is working solution I found online:
Step 6: Fix Audio
When I booted it up, audio wasn't being outputted over HDMI. I fixed it with the below commands. Either do the ALT-F2 to get to a command prompt as I explained in the paragraph above, or ssh into the machine to do this. I got the info from here.
NOTE: I use vi as my editor of choice. You may like nano, vi, or something else. Feel free to use whatever you like.
* Edit the alsa-base.conf file
vi /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
* Add this to the very last line of that file.
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0 probe_mask=0xffff,0xfff2
* Reboot the machine and go into the XBMC System Audio Setup area.
* Change the following...
change audio output: hdmi
speaker config: 5.1
boost volume: check
ac3: check
dts: check
audio output device: hda nvidia hdmi
passthrough: hda nvidia hdmi
* Congratulations, you should have audio over HDMI now. PS, you might have to reboot for it to work.

Great review!
This was a fantastic review, thank you very much for taking the time to write this up. I've been wanting to dabble with some home media hardware lately in lieu of my reluctance to purchase Apple TV, and this article is spot on. I'm really looking forward to this year giving up better HD homebrew options for WIDI/AirPlay hopefully too.
Anyways, the greatest appeal of the ZBOX, to me at least, seems to be the ability to really hack it up. The fact that it's sans HDD and memory out of the box is a huge plus as many hardware mfg. like to really rip into you on those components. The cost seems about right, I'm going to have to really sit down and look this thing over.
Thanks again for the write up!

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Shocking dashcam video shows the moment two cops open fire on a car being driven by a mom with CHILDREN in the back as she fled the scene after a heated altercation
- Officers fought with a young teen and opened fire on a minivan filled with children
- A window was also smashed by a baton-wielding cop
- Driver Rihanna Ferrell and her teen son were arrested three high-speed chases
A shocking dashcam video shows the moment a New Mexico state trooper opened fire on a minivan with five children inside after a route traffic stop went horribly wrong.
Now the New Mexico State Police have opened an investigation into the conduct of the troopers - and driver Rihanna Ferrell and her 14-year-old son are facing charges.
The traffic stop took place south of Taos, New Mexico, on October 28 - but it has sparked local outrage after the video from a state police dashcam went public.
A New Mexico state trooper points a Taser at a minivan full of children after a routine traffic stop spun out of control
When the minivan fled for a second time, a state trooper (left) opened fire on it, despite five children being inside it at the time
Footage shows the officer casually walk up to the vehicle and begin speaking with the driver.
When the officer walks away, presumably to run the license and registration and decide whether to write a ticket, the van takes off.
A short chase ensues before the driver again relents and the van makes its way to the side of the road.
The officer at this point has had enough. He storms up to and opens the driver's side door while ordering the driver out of the vehicle.
She refuses and a struggle ensues as children inside the Ford can be heard screaming.
The driver's son, 14, according to ABC News, gets out of the van but thinks better of the idea as the cop pulls a Taser on him.
Enough is enough: The driver's teen son then gets out to defend her
Ms Ferrell does eventually exit the vehicle and gets into a physical confrontation with the officer while he tries to arrest her.
At this point, the teen appears to attack the cop as Ms Ferrell is at once being pulled back into the van by a screaming younger girl and being pulled into the middle of the road by the cop.
The teen and the officer tussle before he runs back into the van as more police arrives to assist the over-matched officer.
The primary officer is then shown smashing the right rear passenger window with his baton as petrified children trapped inside the van scream for help.
Write caption here
That's it: Having seen enough, the teen jumps out of the car to confront the officer
Ms Ferrell has had enough, she slams on the gas and drives away as a second officer opens fire on the back of her van – emptying multiple rounds in the direction of young children.
A frantic chase through wrong-way traffic and a small town ensues before Ms Ferrell finally gives herself up in front of a hotel.
Both she and her son are seen being led away in handcuffs. It is not clear what they have been charged with, nor is it clear exactly where the incident occurred or where officials placed the remaining children.
Multiple arrests: The teen can be seen led away in handcuffs in the foreground as his mother lie arrested on the sidewalk behind him

The Pierce County Medical Examiner confirmed Tuesday that both Jeffrey Poling, 36, and 32-year-old Travis Dennis were victims of murder.
Detectives said the homeowner called police late Monday morning after arriving at the home to visit his son and seeing his body through a window. Investigators broke down the door to the home, located in the 9400 block of 175th St. Ct. E., and found the remains of the homeowner's son and another man. Both appeared to have been shot.
"It appears they were both killed in the same room. Doesn't look like there was much of a struggle," said Det. Ed Troyer with the Pierce County Sheriff's Department.
Investigators said guns, ammunition and ballistic vests were strewn about the house.
"At this point we have no motive, nobody that saw or heard anything," said Troyer.
Neighbors said they didn't hear any gunshots or see anything unusual until police arrived just after 9 a.m.
Detectives said Monday they do not believe it was a random crime.

Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Analyzing charge variants of biopharmaceuticals is a critical component of product development and quality control. Charge variants commonly occur as a result of both chemical and post-translational modifications including deamidation, oxidation, glycosylation, and glycation. These changes can affect biological activity, patient safety, and drug stability.
Charge variants have traditionally been monitored by ion exchange chromatography (IEC), but newer CE-based techniques, such as imaged capillary isoelectric focusing (icIEF), offer the advantages of generic methods for multiple products and faster analysis times. Analysis of biopharmaceuticals using icIEF on the iCE3 system provides high-resolution charge heterogeneity peak profiles in 10 minutes. In this tutorial, we describe a simple and easy approach for icIEF method development on the iCE3 along with tips to improve method robustness.
Significantly different from traditional cIEF, the iCE3 performs capillary IEF with whole-column detection, which eliminates the need for a lengthy mobilization step—this both increases sample throughput and reduces assay complexity. Prepared samples for icIEF contain a mixture of the protein of interest, carrier ampholytes, and pI markers.
When this sample mixture is injected, it fills the entire capillary cartridge, where separation takes place. Two electrolytic tanks at each end of the cartridge are filled with acid (anolyte) and base (catholyte). Samples are focused by applying voltage across the cartridge, and during the focusing step, a pH gradient forms across the capillary
The pI markers and protein of interest migrate through the capillary until they reach a pH value where their net charge is zero—this is their isoelectric point. The iCE3 then uses whole-column imaging detection at 280 nm to capture the separation within the capillary. Finally, the capillary is washed to ready it for the next sample injection. The full process from sample injection through final wash takes place in 10–12 minutes.
icIEF methods require optimization of only a few parameters. The first step in method development is to screen new compounds with a generic method employing a Pharmalyte 3–10 pH gradient as shown in Figure 1A. For many molecules, methods with this broad pH range provide sufficient performance and do not require further development. For more challenging molecules with complex peak profiles and/or limited solubility, method optimization can be accomplished using the following simple strategies.
In icIEF, proteins simultaneously lose surface charge while being focused into very concentrated sample zones. Under these conditions, hydrophobic regions may aggregate or interact, which can in turn affect the resolution and reproducibility of a charge heterogeneity profile. Addition of solubilizers such as urea into the sample eliminates aggregation effectively and improves separation as shown in Figure 1B.
After a protein's peak profile has been stabilized, resolution can be addressed by adding narrow pH range ampholytes to the sample matrix. In Figure 1C1 the addition of narrow-range ampholytes results in near-baseline resolution of all isoforms. Triplicate run overlays shown in Figure 1C2 demonstrate the separation is very reproducible while providing high resolution of 0.04 pH units. The complete icIEF method development process, from compound screening (Figure 1A) to obtaining a final analytical method (Figure 1C), was completed in only 2.5 hours.
Once developed, an analytical method can be further optimized for robustness by implementing computational tools such as Central Composite Design of Experiment. A step-by-step description of executing a DOE for iCE3 method fine-tuning and characterizing is available online at www.proteinsimple.com.

(January 07, 2009)—That photographers' dream shot of the current president, the next president and the still-living presidents posing for a picture in the Rose Garden? Forget it!
An unrelenting rain has forced the class picture inside.
In a terse announcement a couple hours before the historic gathering Wednesday, the White House announced stoically that "due to weather," the photo opportunity had been moved to the Oval Office.
President George W. Bush likely will take center stage for the memorable picture, to be flanked by Barack Obama, who succeeds him in less than two weeks, his father, former President George H.W. Bush, and former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.
The current president is hosting a lunch with three former presidents and Obama. The White House says Obama suggested it.
Bush and Obama also will meet privately for roughly 30 minutes in the Oval Office.
Press secretary Dana Perino says the discussion could involve policy, or just personal experiences. She says, "All of us would love to be flies on the wall and listening to that conversation."

Cms is a method of allowing people to affect content without actually accessing files. Usually related to a database of content. Custom web design is someone or several people creating a custom website for you ... may or may not utilize cms. It all depends on what your website is used for.
"CMS" is the abbreviation of "content management system" and that's what it is. It has nothing to do with the design. A decent CMS can have any (custom) design you like.
Many business who need a website, or who have an old site and want to update their companies web presence, explore the concept of a CMS as an option to create and manage their site. The appeal of a CMS lies in its cost-effectiveness, and the potential that it can be managed by the business owner themselves instead of a web development team.
We offer Website Development with 5 years expertise in Joomla Development and ecommerce development.
CMS is that website which can easily change without any complexity or write any HTML coding.CMS is based on a common PHP/SQL and the advantage of CMS is low cost,easy to use, commont to support,and get many free template. And custome web design mean those website which is made only for business purpose.Where as Custom web design is too expensive.And the benefit of custome web design is get unique design.
CMS stands for Content Management System. From a technical standpoint, a CMS is a web site that is easy to change and customize without necessarily having to write any HTML code or do any complex programming. Most CMS are based on a common PHP/MySQL setup, and have a large degree of basic web functionality built in. Even non-tech-savvy web users can handle most CMS and self-manage their site by adding pages, images, and pulling in ready-made widgets that add functionality to the site.
CMS has become very popular because it has brought many non-IT folks into the webmaster population, providing a low-cost way to get on a web with a blog site, business site, social network, or many other types of web experiences.
Open-source systems such as WordPress have become hugely popular, with many developers offering free templates and plugins that allow for greater customizations and functionality, without the user having to know anything about HTML code or web programming.
CMS has not only brought more people into web publishing, but has also created communities around the systems, where people can learn, trade ideas, provide support, and contribute to development of new functions and designs.
CMS Advantages
Low cost or free
Easy for non-techies
Community support
Many free templates

Did you get an IKEA catalogue in the mail recently? If you did, you might want to turn to page two and check out the picture of the dog. If the dog has a huge, hard, hairy, and distinctly human looking penis, then you are the proud owner of a collectable IKEA catalogue. From TalkAboutDesign.com:
A staff member in the catalogue office has superimposed a penis onto the dog on Page 2 of the latest North American Ikea catalogue. The stunt has already been passed around the globe in e-mails, resulting in some surprise guerilla marketing for the Swedish company.
About six million copies of the catalogue have been distributed in Canada, and 175 million go out globallyall with the same opening picture.
Ikea already updated their online catalogue, and are changing all their print catalogues as we speak. But is this something they missed, or was this done on purpose.
One thing for sure is that now alot more people are looking through Ikea catalogues.
And here's the offending image…

La Petit Course Crit.
Posted by: kris
To stand out on today's criterium scene La Petit Course tightened things up for an interesting track. Locals and international riders took to "The Little Course" for a fast paced day of racing in Paris. Digging this one…
"We wanted to offer Paris the Crit she deserved. Offer a race that would meet the high-expectations of fixed-gear fans, but also introduce this truly unique discipline to newcomers as well. Our ambition was to offer the most beautiful race to the most beautiful city in the world (we are Parisians after all…). A spectacular event, yet responsible. The road is long, and this objective tremendously difficult to achieve, when we look at all the amazing Crits taking place all over the world today. However, in all thanks to you, this first edition of La Petite Course was a true success. A huge thanks to everybody."

Sabrina Surber threw five scoreless innings and allowed only one hit as North Putnam defended their home field on Tuesday night, defeating Turkey Run 10-0 in a mercy-rule shortened affair. The freshman hurler struck out three batters to gain the victory.
After retiring Turkey Run's first three batters to begin the game, Surber led off the bottom half of the inning with a base hit on a sharp ground ball to third base. Madi Asbell reached on a single herself before senior Tari Straziscar hit a hard line drive into centerfield, scoring a pinch runner and Asbell for a 2-0 lead that would put the game well out of hand for the Warriors.
"Sabrina did a good job despite the weather conditions," North Putnam head coach Benny Ault said of his pitcher following the game. "She's coming along well for a freshman. She's still trying to find a few pitches and we're working with her on that but all in all she did a great job."
Surber finished the game throwing 17 first-pitch strikes to the 19 batters she faced, finishing the game with a 0.20 WHIP. In addition, she retired the first batter in each inning, and managed to retire the first two batters in four of five innings.
Turkey Run had their best scoring opportunity in the top of the third inning following a scoreless second from North Putnam. The Warriors forced two errors, the second of which put runners on first and third after Katie Rooker took too long to get rid of a routine ground ball at third base. Danger was adverted when Rooker redeemed herself on a bang-bang play almost identical to the error.
In the bottom half of the inning the hosts made sure Turkey Run paid for stranding two runners. Asbell reached on a walk and Straziscar's ground ball forced Warrior's second baseman Kyla Koch to attempt and miss a take on the speedy Asbell. With runners on first and second and now two outs, Madi's sister Kensy doubled deep to left-center field, scoring both base runners. Alyssa Roberts would plate the elder Asbell and push the lead to five runs after three innings.
"I'm really proud of the girls at the top of the lineup," Ault mentioned, "they're scoring us runs. I like what the future holds for us in that regard. We're just trying to find out who can play what position.
"We've got a lot of talent to work with."
Turkey Run managed a single base runner the remainder of the game. Jessica Paddock hit a blooper over Kayla Fish's head at second base in the fourth inning, the Warrior's only hit in the entire game.
After two runs in the bottom of the fourth for North Putnam, the Cougars finished things off with three in the fifth, the final two scoring on Madi Asbell's single to center field. Shelby Crum pitched all 4.1 innings for the Warriors, allowing twelve hits and ten runs on 84 pitches.
Weather conditions were blustery and cold but the Cougars played through Mother Nature's attempt to ruin their game.
"Wind conditions effected how they threw the ball," Ault added of the conditions. "All in all I feel like they did a great job despite the 30-mile per hour winds"
Surber had a big game for North Putnam, backing up her solid pitching performance with three base hits and a run scored. Madi Asbell reached safely all four times at bat, scoring three of the four times, and Straziscar matched her, reaching all three times as well but only scoring twice.
For Turkey Run no batter reached safely more than once, and Paddock's single was the bright spot for the Warriors offensively.
Defensively, Bridget Johnston led the way with nine putouts in nine chances.

Peter Erskine: Fusion Fills, Part 2
Fusion Fills, Part 2By Peter Erskine Published In DRUM! Magazine's May 2008 Issue
Continuing from last month, here are six more Fusion-style fills that use the same rhythmic springboard (the accented notes on beat 1 and the & of 2) for fills and solo practice. While Ex. 6 requires some good chops and the ability to move around the drum set, the others are exercises in phrasing and rhythmic confidence. The clever use of dynamic shaping will make these rhythms feel and sound much better than if the notes are merely played "right." Experiment with these one-bar examples and then build upon them, creating multi-bar patterns and phrases that cross over the bar line. Be aware of the form while you create drum melodies.

Bon-Ton Debt Rises to Four-Month High as CEO Projects Profit
Bon-Ton Stores Inc.'s bonds rose to the highest in four months as the retailer projected that it would generate as much as $70 million of cash this year.
Bon-Ton's $480 million of 10.25 percent notes due in March 2014 rose 5.8 cents to 72.8 cents on the dollar to yield 29.1 percent as of 2:02 p.m. in New York, the highest price since November, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. There were 48 trades of at least $1 million of the security today, the most of any U.S. bond, Trace data show.
Bon-Ton, which has department stores in the U.S. Northeast and Midwest, is seeking to lure new customers with trendier clothes as it tries to make enough money to pay off or refinance its debts before they come due in two years. In January, the chain appointed Brendan Hoffman, the former head of Lord & Taylor LLC, as chief executive officer.
The York, Pennsylvania-based retailer said today in a statement that it expects to produce $60 million to $70 million of free cash flow this year. Net income fell to $78.2 million in the fourth quarter from $85 million a year earlier, the company said.
Bon-Ton also said that it bought back $16 million of the bonds in January after repurchasing $30 million in November. Its stock soared 33 percent to $6.98, the highest price since August.

Skip to comments.The National Defense Authorization Act is Scary
Posted on 12/02/2011 9:27:37 PM PST by semaj
Fellow entrepreneurs, Americans, anyone who still cares about this country at all this is a must read.
By the end of next week, the US government very likely will have the power to lock up US citizens for life at Guantanamo Bay or other military prisons -- without charge and without trial.
This means that, in the near future, a controversial Twitter post, attending a peaceful protest, or publishing an anti-Congress critique or anti-TSA rant on Google+ could land you "indefinite detention" for life, in the wording of the bill. No access to a lawyer, no access to trial.
Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/the-new-national-defense-authorization-act-is-ridiculously-scary-2011-11#ixzz1fRgiFbKt
(Excerpt) Read more at businessinsider.com ...
It is time, and the only question I have is; are there any Americans left?
Are there going to be enough Americans left?
Relax, when Bush was in office, most folks here would be all for it....
Thanks for putting everyting in perspective, not.
The problem with that rationale is the supposition that FReepers generally trust Obama.
And this has changed "reality", how ? The USG has had - dating back to the Thirties - these "powers" ! >PS
I suggest everyone do some research into what Andrew McCarthy is saying about this....I don't think this is what people MAY think it is.
The House did not pass this. The Senate did.
3 hots and a cot
free cable
conjugal visits
Another scary thing is that Levin (D) and McCain (R) put this together in secret without hearings and the Senate voted to accept it (SB 1867).
Care to explain your cryptic comments, or are you the coward I presume you to be?
I am not concerned as to what it might be, but what it might become, that is to say free license to round up and imprison dissenters without due process. Right now it appears to be targeted only to known terrorist actively engaged in plotting and carryikng out attacks against our armed forces. If the US is now to be designated a battlefield, why have we not sealed our borders and rounded up and interred every last potential jihadi?
indefinite .....THERE IS NO NEED FOR THIS. IT SHOULD BE 5 YEARS MAX. IT GOES AGAINST THE 6TH AMENDMENT.
I basically don't like this, but I have a mixed reaction. For years we have been handing out US "citizenship" like prizes in a Cracker Jack box.
For a lot of these "citizens" swept into the country, citizenship means nothing more than a whack at the pinata. So when they are rounded up, I feel no grief.
However, I was recently X-rayed at the airport, after which I was patted down. So I can easily imagine what lies ahead for us all.
"Care to explain your cryptic comments, or are you the coward I presume you to be?"
Geez, I took it as a sarcastic dig at the treatmrnt REAL enemies of this nation are accorded.
What makes you think this will be used to control illegals? Being illegal, I can assume the current folks in power would make them exempt - only real citizens will be targetted.
The house passed its own version ... they are now reconciling the TWO bills.
I read yesterday that Rand Paul got this defeated in the Senate did something change?
And you can bet the farm that the reconciled Bill will not be good for us. "For us" being those that love and appreciate the freedoms we have and want to make our own decisions on how we live our lives. "Us" also includes those who desire that the Government only perform its God ordained responsibilities, [to wit] The protection of its citizens from criminals ahd other agressor Nations.
I thought Rand Paul stopped it.
Me too. Except omona forgot to add daily prison rape to the list.
Riots in USA Sept.thru Nov. 2011
National Martial Law invoked by POTUS
Suspension of Nov. 2012 election
Post 22
CORRECTION ,,,,, Sept. thru Nov. 2012
Unfortunately, this is how we got to this point. Too many not paying attention.
Over the last couple of decades, we've seen an alarming erosion of personal liberty in this country.
Our government is too big, too expensive, too intrusive and too controlling.
Sen. Rand Paul prevented the passage of an amendment that would have further eroded Americans constitutional rights. Offered to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 2012 (S.1867), amendment No. 1274 would have allowed the U.S. government to detain an American citizen indefinitely, even after they had been tried and found not guilty, until Congress declares an end to the war on terror.
Suspicion of committing a crime should lead to your attempted prosecution. If the evidence does not support conviction, it would be against everything we believe in and fight for in America to still allow the government to imprison you at their whim, Sen. Paul said. Tonight, a blow was struck to fight back against those who would take our liberty.
The amendment would have passed by voice vote, but this tactic was blocked by Sen. Pauls objection. He then forced a roll call vote, in which the amendment was defeated, 41-59.
I agree with everything you said! And, that's always the rub...the FUTURE.
Relax, when Bush was in office, most folks here would be all for it....
Careful FRiend. I get in trouble for any criticism of W. I got in trouble yesterday.
Too funny.
I'll remember to put the little smiley face at the end next time ! Or would it be the sarc tag....
Oh well, I'll do better next time !

This story has been corrected
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A drug-testing lab in Tennessee confirmed more than a year ago that StarCaps, the over-the-counter weight-loss pill at the center of five NFL player suspensions, contained the banned diuretic Bumetanide, and the toxicologist in charge said athletes using it put themselves at risk of more than just a positive drug test.
"Bumetanide is a potent diuretic for an athlete or someone in a situation where they might become dehydrated," David Black told The Associated Press. "They'd be taking a diuretic without the knowledge of it. That could lead to serious health considerations. That could lead to electrolyte abnormalities, cardiovascular collapse, cardiac arrhythmias, heart attack, stroke and death."
Black, who helped set up and coordinate the NFL's original steroid testing program with then-commissioner Pete Rozelle in the late 1980s, tested StarCaps in 2007 at the request of a professional athlete who tested positive for it. Black would not identify the player.
"It took us a couple of PhDs and a $300,000 piece of equipment to verify that Bumetanide was contained in StarCaps," he said. "How is somebody supposed to know buying it off the shelf or off the Internet what it really contains? We spent an enormous amount of resources trying to understand this product."
Black credited the World Anti-Doping Agency with first confirming Bumetanide was in StarCaps and reporting those findings in the Journal of Analytical Toxicology in the November/December 2007 issue.
The problem? Athletes likely don't read such journals.
The demand for that kind of information has business booming for Black's company, Aegis Sciences Corp, located around the corner from the Tennessee Titans' headquarters in a Nashville business park.
It started in 1986 as a sports doping lab after a steroids scandal on the football team had Vanderbilt University wanting to test all of its athletes. The toxicologist didn't want to leave town when the lab closed, so he took it private in 1990 and expanded testing for doctors tracking if patients take their pain medication, employers protecting themselves from employees using drugs, forensic work and sports.
Black estimates he has helped exonerate more than 50 athletes, including Olympic sprinter Butch Reynolds in the early 1990s, and his lab conducts tests for about 80 Division I-A universities and NASCAR. His work with the NFL ended in 1990 when then-commissioner Paul Tagliabue moved testing to a lab approved by the IOC and named Dr. John Lombardo as the league's adviser on steroids.
Business is so good Black can't meet the demand, despite expanding into a 35,000-square foot building this summer. He has 130 employees, including 65 drug testers, running an average of 3,000 tests each week with fees ranging from as low as $30 to $300 per test. He said he expects business to expand by up to 50 percent next year despite the economy.
With researchers developing new medicines daily to treat diseases, Black said there's always something new for athletes trying to find an edge to make themselves better.
"So we always will be one step behind," Black said of the cheaters.
Black confirmed his lab was involved before the news broke in October that up to eight NFL players had tested positive. But he said he could not discuss the StarCaps cases directly or in any detail because of his lab's involvement with NFL players in Bumetanide-related issues.
Kevin Williams and Pat Williams of the Minnesota Vikings and Charles Grant, Deuce McAllister and Will Smith of the New Orleans Saints were suspended last week for four games each.
The five players tested positive in training camp in July and August for the banned diuretic Bumetanide, which can be used as a masking agent for steroids. Diuretics are also used to quickly shed weight. The drug was in the dietary supplement StarCaps even though the label did not list the diuretic as an ingredient.
"It's not there by accident," Black said.
A federal judge last Friday blocked the NFL from suspending the players for violating the league's anti-doping policy while he studies the arguments.
The key issue in the case before the federal judge is whether the NFL had any specific obligation to notify players and the union that it had known since at least 2006 that the weight-loss supplement contained the banned diuretic. The NFL, which added StarCaps to its list of prohibited dietary supplement companies in December 2006, says the burden is on players to know what's going into their bodies.
The union had claimed Lombardo, in consultation with the league's attorneys, withheld critical information on StarCaps containing the banned diuretic.
NFL attorney Dan Nash argued Lombardo had made a professional decision to warn players in general about diuretics rather than specifically about StarCaps.
Atlanta's Grady Jackson, identified in media reports as a player who also tested positive for Bumetanide, filed suit against StarCaps in Alameda County Superior Court in California last month, seeking restitution for any lost salary and damages for "false advertising and unfair business practices."
